John
Thomas Andrew was born in Clinton
County, Ohio, January 3rd, 1841, and departed this life November
2nd, 1924, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Mae Nichols, Indianola, Iowa, at the age of 83 years and 10
months.
He
was the 6th child of 10 children, only one of whom survive, Wilson H. [obbs]
Andrew of Villisca, Iowa.
He
was married December 8th, 1864, to Mary Ellen Anson, in Clinton, Ohio. Four years later they
emigrated in a covered wagon to Mahaska County, Iowa. Two years later they
moved to Taylor County and settled on a farm one-half mile north of what is now
Maple Grove church, having lived on this farm continuously for 47 years. In
February 1918, they retired and moved to Villisca, Iowa. On May 12, 1919, his
wife departed this life.
To
this union eleven children were born, three of whom died in early infancy.
Those surviving are Mack Andrew [Americus Jacob] of Denver,
Colo., C.[linton] R. Andrew of
near Guss, Iowa; Mrs. Mae Nichols of Indianola, Iowa; Mrs. Ruth Coffin of Davenport, Iowa; C. [larence] T. Andrew of Kansas City, Mo.; R. [aymond] S.[amuel]
Andrew of Denton, Mont.; Mrs.
Leona Boyd of Des Moines, Iowa; Harry
Andrew of near Guss, Iowa. He
also leaves twenty-three grandchildren, and a host of friends.
Having
been born of a Quaker parentage, it gave him a birthright in the Quaker church,
but on account of no Quakers in this pioneer country he united with the
Methodist church at Maple Grove, of which he has been a member until the time
of his death. He never tired of living an upright life and the memory of the
beautiful and happy home of childhood is the richest legacy any person can
leave their children.
How sweet the thought,
That ever wave,
But bears us nearer heaven.
There we shall meet when life is
o'er.
In that blessed home to part no
more.
The
funeral services were held Tuesday, Nov. 4th, at 2:30 p. m. at the Methodist
church at Guss, conducted by Rev. L. B. Carpenter, assisted by Rev. Paul H.

Obituary
David
Pace Reed was born Aug. 8th,
1838, in Morgan Co. Ohio, and died May 30th, 1903 at Mercer, Mo.
He
was married to Hattie Tarwater Jan. 24th, 1857. To this union were born six sons and four daughters.
Two
of the children have preceded him to their eternal home. There yet remains the
widow and eight children to mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and
father. He was converted Sept. 17th, 1862. Sanctified Nov. 9th 1887, and lived a devoted
Christian life until the Master saw that his work was finished and called him
from this world of sin and sorrow to dwell forever at the right hand of God.
Bro.
Reed will be missed in Mercer as
a good citizen and as a true Christian. We will miss him in the public worship,
where he always loved to be. We remember his faithful testimonies to the saving
and keeping power of God. And also his godly life and conversation, that told
to those with whom he associated that his treasures were in Heaven. That he was
not of this world even as Christ was not of this world. During the months of
suffering prior to his death, he often remarked that he was only waiting for
the Maser’s call. And if the earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,
he had a building of God a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens.
May
the bereaved ones follow the godly example and when earth’s toils are ended,
make an unbroken family around the throne of God.
The
funeral was preached at Mercer, Mo. by Rev. R. Medlock, assisted by Rev.
Brasfield. The remains were taken for interment to Powersville, Mo., his former
home, and there laid to rest to await the morning of the resurrection.

Corydon Times Republican (Corydon, Iowa), Thursday, February 29, 1912
Harriet Francis Elizabeth Tarwater was born in Ray County, Mo., [September 18], 1839, and died at the home of her son, D.W. Reed, at Shenandoah, Feb. 4, 1912, aged 72 years, 2 months and 16 days.
She was married to David P.[ace] Reed Jan. 24, 1858. To this union were born 10 children, 6 sons and 4 daughters. The living are Mrs. Anamartha Hugly of Zurich, Kans.; C. [yrus] M.[arion] Reed of Powersville, Mo.; J. G. Reed of Fowler, Colo.; Mrs. J. Merrick, Allerton, Iowa; Dr. D. W. Reed, Shenandoah, Iowa; Dr. G. P. Reed, Davis City, Iowa; Dr. L. [loyd] T.[homas] Reed, Gravity, Iowa; and Mrs. Mary Lowe, Gravity, Iowa. Those preceding her to the Great Beyond were: Mrs. Nancy Markland and Dr. H. B. Reed. Soon after her marriage she moved with her husband to Putman County, Mo, where her husband entered a piece of land near the place where Powersville now is, receiving a patent from the government signed by Jas. Buchanan then president.
Here they lived for 46 years and reared their family, amid the hardships and privations of frontier life. Her father was a veterinary surgeon and her mother a physician, which might account for four of her six sons being physicians. She was the grandmother of 49 children and the great grandmother of 11. She was converted at the age of 11 years and joined the Methodist church South. She was a firm believer in the word of God and became a zealous worker in the Lord's Vineyard. And many were the earnest prayers that came from her heart and fell from her lips; and many were the ringing testimonies to Saving Grace. By these prayers, testimonies and a consistent life, she convinced many of the blessed reality of our holy religion. She had read the bible through seven times and the New Testament 14 times.
After moving to Gravity five years ago she joined the Baptist church and remained a consistent member to the end of her life.
Funeral services were held at Gravity, Iowa, in the presence of a large congregation of sympathizing friends, by Rev. Osborn, her former pastor, of New Market, the text being Rev. 13-14. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for henceforth yea saith the spirit they do rest from their labors and their works do follow them." After which all that was mortal of this woman of God was laid to rest in the family burial ground within the beautiful cemetery near the little city of Powersville, Mo., and almost within a stone's throw of the old homestead where she lived so many years and so nobly reared her family and performed her duties faithfully to home, church and God. There lies her earthly form between the graves of the departed husband and son. At the head of their graves a granite monument stands, on which is inscribed these words, their motto, "Fidelity to God."

Dr. Reed Dies Suddenly
Funeral Service Held
Monday
Many Attended
When
a great man dies, the nations mourn; when a patriarch is removed, the people
weep. The heavy cloud of sorrow which has settled over this entire community is
no common bereavement.
When
a family physician, devoted to his profession, comes to any community fresh
from his college graduation and remains there for nearly forty years,
ministering to the sick and the afflicted, enters into close and loyal sympathy
with hundreds of families where sorrow and rejoicing has come, weeps with those
who weep and rejoices with those who rejoice, he has performed a service the
value of which cannot be estimated in terms of this world. Such a man was Dr.
L. [loyd] T. [homas] Reed, whose
sudden death occurred Thursday night of last week, soon after eleven o'clock,
at his home here.
The
doctor had been confined to his room for several days with heart trouble, but
no one expected the seriousness of his condition, and his death was a great
shock to all who knew him intimately.
The
funeral service was held Monday morning at ten o'clock in the Methodist church
here and was attended by fully fifteen hundred people. The service was
conducted by Rev. C. W. Proctor resident pastor of the church, assisted by Rev.
J. R. McNichols a former pastor of the church and a close friend of the
deceased. The music was by a double mixed quartet composed of Mrs Oliver
Posten, Mrs Cecil Morgan, Miss Edythe Ledgerwood, Miss Dorothy Lewis, L. E.
Morley, Geo. Roberts, Drexel Gold and J. S Francis, with Mrs. Meredith Walker
accompanist. The pallbearers were: Dr. F. A. Hines, Lester Parks, C. C. Hill,
Andy Nielsen, Frank Smith and Elmer Garst. The floral offerings were many and
unusually beautiful. Burial was in the Gravity cemetery with ceremonies by both
the American Legion and the Masonic Lodge.
Amplifiers
were placed in the church basement where both rooms were cleared for seating
all who could be placed there. Another loudspeaker carried to those on the
outside who were unable to find seats in the building. The morning weather was
perfect and the service was a most impressive one.
Rev.
McNichols dwelt entirely on his personal love for the doctor as a friend and
family physician while Rev. Proctor with a depth of feeling peculiar to
himself, brought comfort and consolation to the bereaved family and neighbors
from the Holy Book and quotations of classic literature appropriate for the
occasion.
The
sincere sorrow of those in the long line that consumed more than 40 minutes in
passing the bier of their beloved doctor and friend cannot be expressed in
words, but was expressed in the face of everyone, old and young, as they looked
into the face of their good friend for the last time.
This
writer has known Dr. Reed intimately for 32years, as friend and family physician, and can testify to his
personal worth and admiral [admirable] qualities.
No
night was ever too dark, no road was ever too bad, and no weather was too
severe for him to drop every thing at hand and answer the call of distress. He
knew well the joy of play as well as work and no one took keener delight in the
entertainment of his friends as evidenced by the time he gave to the promotion
of our annual homecoming and other public entertainment of community interest,
and his years as mayor of Gravity.
His
periodic hunting and fishing trips to the north were his keen delight and he
always shared with his friends in the result of such trips in supplying liberal
portions of game and fish on his return.
His
going will be directly felt by us all, and it will probably be impossible to
fill completely the place he has left vacant in this community.
